Episode notes

On the latest episode of "Just Compensation," Andrew E. Graw, Taryn E. Cannataro , and Jessica I. Kriegsfeld address single-employer defined benefit plans in the context of a business transaction, and the potential liabilities inherent in maintaining the plan post-closing as well prior to the closing - especially in light of how well funded the plan is.
